If all you are wanting to do is cast in the yard a stiff mono is the best by far. You can coat running lines like Rio slick shooter or a Mason mono with silicone and cast huge distances with a light rod.

However if you are wanting to actually fish with your set up I'd suggest a floating level line. Mono will sink and twist easily. Plus it has a ton of stretch which makes hook setting difficult. If you are casting from the water you'll definately want a floating level line.

Also there are plenty of light level lines out there. Don't be tempted to go with a light level line either. The less the coating the less it will float and the more it will twist. The object with a shooting head is distance and you can't cast very far if your mono is sunk and twisted in a knot.

Generally for a fishing shooting head I'll use a level line greater than .30 in diameter. For a larger head I'll use a thicker running line.
